Argentina Standard Time — UTC-3
The key facts for Buenos Aires, Argentina, and how its clock relates to UTC.
Buenos Aires runs on Argentina Time, a fixed UTC-3 offset that never shifts for daylight saving. The whole country has stayed on this single offset for years, so the clock you see here is the same in January and in July. That stability makes scheduling with Argentina refreshingly simple, since you don't need to track seasonal transitions. For most of the year Buenos Aires sits one hour ahead of New York, though that gap widens when North America moves its own clocks.
Buenos Aires does not observe daylight saving time, so it keeps a fixed offset of UTC-3 (no DST) every day of the year.
